    This is a basic octave.

    On your fretting hand, use your index for the "5" note (D) and your ring finger or pinky for the "7" (also D, but one octave up). Lay your ring finger down a little bit so a teeny bit is touching the middle string to mute it. Then just strum or play it like a power chord.

    If that explanation doesn't help, let me know and I'll do a quick video tomorrow.

    To add to what Ed is saying here - when you're fretting on the A String with your Index finger, you can use the very tip of the finger to touch the underside of the Thick E string to mute it 👌 It means you can really go for it with your strumming

    this chord can move it up or down frets and it can be played on with the low E and D strings. Also on the upper 2 B and E strings, there's 1 more fret spacing, so then the pinky. it sounds to me like playing 1 string but louder, maybe cause it is doubled up.
